After upgrade from debian 2.0 to slink 2.1 few packages are listed by dselect as broken. I can't remove them or reinstal even with force option. When I try install it goes like this:
dpkg --install -D=10 /debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/devel/binutils_2.9.1.0.19a-2.deb D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci' (Reading database ... 29448 files and directories currently installed.)
